Missing data transfer notification option
In the notification area, only the country and total upload/download and speed since the start of using the application are displayed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to specify, for example, daily download/upload or weekly or monthly or select a date from when to when. This option would be great for tracking a monthly data plan

PC Performance
I would appreciate if the Windows VPN Client could get a "minimalist" or "performance" mode with reduced footprint on system resources. Even on a modern high end PC and especially when using other Proton apps at the same time, multitasking and working, it adds up.
Maybe we could get a setting for a minimal UI without all the fancy elements and animations? Even closed to the sys tray and being in the background, the VPN uses over 400MB RAM + dedicated GPU VRAM while constantly drawing GPU utilization causing unnecessary interrupts. It's undesireable when using the VPN while doing other…5 votes -
Split-Tunneling App List
The current implementation of Split-Tunneling is good but I ran into a problem adding XBOX GamePass Games to it because the folder permissions does not allow Proton to open the .exe Files. I tried it by adding access rights for my user and for administrators but it still does not work.
My feature suggestion: Add a list of installed or currently running apps that we can easily select for split tunneling.
Or maybe a seperate Feature to add all XBOX App/GamePass Games to the exclusion5 votes -
Split
Split tunneling is extremely useful but could benefit greatly from another level of splitting so that apps could be put into a home country only vpn tunnel, switched to when opening. This would allow some apps that don't work under a vpn to work since geography often seems to be the issue. I realize this could mean a reconnect, but this ensures staying on vpn and not forgetting to re-enable it to the preferred default other country. When it switches, a second notification could effectively remind that a switch occurred (since the standard notification is there forever and so becomes…

Allow connecting via CLI as non-root
Previously, I could run the CLI as my standard user on Arch without issue, so I added it to my
~/.zprofile, ensuring that I would always be connected to a VPN server. My login flow is to login to the TTY and then start a GUI from there.I updated my system on 2026-05-23, and since then, protonvpn fails with "unexpected error." If I open a terminal emulator after I start a GUI session and use the CLI from there, it prompts me for root privileges. I am the sole user of the laptop, but I do have a…

VPN Status on Android Control Panel
Instead of having the status of the connected VPN shown through notifications only. Can we also have the option to expand the quick connect button in the control panel of Android to show the status.
I don't need to have it keep showing in my notifications but would like to be able to check once in awhile by swiping down to my control panel.

Set Advanced Kill-Switch via CLI
Currently, the only method of enabling the advanced kill-switch is via the GUI app. The CLI tool offers only "standard" or "off". Anyone preferring the advanced kill-switch over standard must use the GUI app, which is particularly frustrating when connecting to networks with a captive portal.

Add Wireguard PSKs
It'd be nice upon config generator if a PSK was generated for stronger cryptography when using Wireguard.

Advanced Kill Switch breaks NetworkManager after reboot on Linux (Fedora 44 + other distros)
The Advanced Kill Switch on Linux has a persistent bug that breaks networking after a system restart. I experienced this multiple times in the past on Fedora 44 (currently using Standard Kill Switch).

ProtonVPN WireGuard config renaming
I need to use ProtonVPN configs on multiple devices and multiple servers (because they get blocked very often) and it would be more comfortable if I could rename the configs already made so i could later change the names from jumbled mess to an actual normal name

Browse for additional applications in Split Tunneling on Proton VPN Linux
Much like in the Proton VPN application for Windows - where you can browse for a specific .exe - it would be great to be able to browse for additional applications in the Split Tunneling menu on Proton VPN for Linux as well, since not all installed applications - e.g. all applications without GUI - are listed and cannot at the moment be included/excluded in the list of apps for Split Tunneling.
This small change would make this feature so much more flexible!4 votes -

MacOS app domain split tunneling
Please add domains to split tunneling. I can do it on the browser versions but not desktop (MacOS in my case)

Domain-based (FQDN) Split Tunneling for Desktop and Mobile
Please add domain-based split tunneling (e.g., *.company.intern) to the Windows/macOS desktop clients, similar to how the browser extension already handles it.
The current IP- and App-based split tunneling is unreliable for modern web services with dynamic IPs/CDNs and internal corporate networks.
Solution: The client should monitor DNS queries for specified domains and dynamically route the resolved IPs. This would massively improve reliability and close a major feature gap compared to enterprise VPN clients.
Please add this feature for Desktop and Mobile App

Align Proton VPN versions on Google Play and F-Droid
Currently, Google Play offers the user version 5.11.94.0 (2025-06-06) for installation. At the same time, F-Droid offers version 5.11.39.1 (2025-06-11). I propose to align the versions available in these app stores.

MacOS App: window with servers list
The interface has changed slightly since the last update. The window with server list is too small, and it can't be resized. This is inconvenient. Please add the option to resize it.

When you connect using the Linux command line indicate server load automatically
When you connect to ProtonVPN using the command line your new IP is is played but you don't know your server load unless you type in protonvpn status, if you use the GUI you find out about the server load automatically, I want to propose the server load is displayed automatically every time you connect to ProtonVPN using the Linux command line along with usual assigned IP.

Dedicated IP for personal plans
It is an option for business users and would be a nice add for home users. My wife is sick of all the capchas and blocked sites from the VPN. I have been using Proton mail since 2019 and the unlimited since last year. Had to switch back to mail only until you add the dedicated ip to home users at a reasonable cost.
Thank you for the consideration.
